In this moment of political and economic upheaval, what does the revival of the Monroe Doctrine and Trump’s agenda to revitalize American hegemony mean for developmentalism in the Global South?
Over the past decade, American hegemony shifted from the Washington Consensus’ sustained attack on state intervention and developmentalism to the ‘Wall Street Consensus’, a partnership between states and Big Finance, best encapsulated by the 4th UN conference on Financing for Development, held in Seville, June 2025.
With these new forms of power, digital infrastructures and financial regimes, what are the new opportunities for transformative states and resistance from the Global South?
